The Best of 2014 Homepage.

As 2014 draws to a close, it's pretty clear that this was a transitional year in gaming. Some of the best titles on the new platforms are old titles - classic games that either stood the test of time and deserved a coat of new-gen polish, or late-life PS3/360 games that were welcome additions to our PS4/One libraries - but thank goodness, 2014 also has some genuine gems that my collection would feel much poorer without.

As per usual, consideration for the internet's greatest honor is limited to games that I played in the past year. Sorry, Mario Kart 8, you're not in the running.

Such is life.

In the coming days and weeks, you'll be able to return to this page as the features for this year's deliberations come together - it'll be your one-stop-shop for Game of the Year proceedings on this humble blog.

Now, what games are up for consideration? Well, the list ain't short. Where possible, each title below will link to its review or associate game diaries. These are the games of 2014.

This is where I write about video games. Beyond the simple pleasure of it, I hope to use this place as a bit of a mental gym to re-develop my writing style - something I seem to have misplaced around the turn of the century.

It will also serve as a personal blog, but for the most part if you enjoy discussion of gaming news, independent reviews and pointless musings, you have come to precisely the right place.

It's my custom to do at least one post per day - but whether it ends up being ten posts of breaking news and a review, or one post complaining about how I have a tummy ache is not set in stone.
